Taylor Denies Arm Twisting On Test Ban
Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the Joint Chiefs of Staff supported the limited test ban treaty without any pressure from civilian Pentagon superiors. He said the JCS were consulted, had access to Moscow Washington cables, and believed ratification was in U S security interests despite risks. A dissenting view came from Dr Edward Teller ahead of ratification debates.
